No offense was intended. I think Lilypond is a super product when it comes
to printing. Sorry, but the PDF output is less than satisfactory. Sorry if
my choice of words was found to be offensive, none was intended other than
expressing my impression.
I realize lilypond is totally free and hav
Hello users,
Ghostscript comes with tools for ps/pdf conversion into several formats.
Xpdf converts pdf->ps->pdf. They all run in Windows.
Another thing to try is to convert the PDF into PDF again, using print to
PDF tools. There are many like that for free, like PDF995.
I may be wrong but Te
Well, I looked up those two tools and they appear to be linux only? Anyone
know if there are windows versions of these tools? Seems like these tools
basically do about the same thing as if I use the --png option with lilypond
to produce a png file, except that the result is output in a pagenated
Hi, Daniel:
I don't think these are viable solutions.
Thanks for doing the tests, and reporting back!
It will be interesting to see how this thread is "resolved" (i.e.,
what the final solution turns out to be).
Best regards,
Kieren.

Hi, Dewdman!
I need better PDF output.
Have you passed a Lilypond-outputted PDF (or the PS) through ps2ps
(or pdf2pdf, etc.)?
I haven't used that for this particular purpose, but I have found
that certain versions of Adobe Illustrator will read a "post-ps2ps"
file better than a "pre-ps

That would be good to figure out. I'll try to see if I can follow up here
and get that to work here. I also tryied using --png option to create a png
file and the output in png is much nicer on screen then the PDF... So
perhaps I can get around this issue by always producing both png and pdf

Yea interesting. So I take it there is no way to make the new lilypond use
the old mode or something?

Yes Walter, you are correct, Postscript is not based on a particular
resolution. Must print beautifully on that printer of yours.
